There was an awkward silence that followed as Ariel didn't seem to hear me at all. She was completely focused on the dessert that the maid brought her that she didn't seem to hear a single thing that was happening around her. There was an awkward look that appeared on my face seeing this, but I stopped my wives who were beside her from interrupting her as she ate. When she was done, I finally said the same thing again. Ariel looked at me with a surprised look this time before slowly giving a…

After a long silence, Noah looked at the two of us and said, "Sister, brother in law, you should at least speak up for me." Angela and I looked at each other before I went forward to pat Noah on the shoulder. As I patted him on the shoulder, I said, "I'm sorry, there's nothing that we can do." He looked at me with an aggrieved look, but I still said, "You know what kind of person you are. Trust is something that is built up over time, so you have to prove that you're someone worth trusting.…

With the wyverns, we made it back to the capital in no time at all. It only took a single day of traveling, though we did stop midway to stay in one of the towns for the night. It was possible for us to make it back in the middle of the night with the speed of the wyverns, but it wasn't as if we could make our royal guest travel in the middle of the night like this. So we stopped in the town, but that wasn't the only reason. Even a fool was able to see the way that Ariel looked at the…

It took three days before our method of returning arrived. The first thing that happened was that the very next day, the noble that was in charge of this town announced that the water monster had been taken care of. This was arranged by the shadows who had an order that had both mine and the prime minister's signature. With such a document, there was no way that they would be able to raise any complaint. Even if they weren't certain if the water monster had even been taken care of, the noble…

The things that Ariel bought in the end were all useless to me and anyone else in my group. These were normal everyday items that would be useful to commoners in villages, but they really didn't have any use to me. In fact, they were just taking up space after I bought them. At the same time, it was as if Ariel lost interest in these things right after I bought them. So I had to figure out a way to deal with these things. It was Angela who gave me a solution, "Just donate them to villages…

Simply put, they were just desperate to sell their goods. That didn't really seem like a good explanation for the crazy way that the merchants acted, but it was the main reason why they were acting like this. The biggest factor was the fact that they weren't able to transport their goods because of the water monster that was in the Kleen River. As such, they had no choice but to find another way to get rid of their goods. It wasn't enough to sell it to the villages in the surrounding area…

When we walked into the town, the unhappy mood disappeared without a trace. Ariel's eyes opened wide and she excitedly looked around. I had been worried that she would forget what I had said and would start talking, but it seemed that she was too excited for that. However, it wasn't as if we could just let her run around on her own. So I had made sure to put Cecilia, Moon, and Veronica by her side so that they would be able to control her if anything happened. They were already holding her…

We hadn't spent that long on the river, so the chubby dock manager was still there when we came back. Seeing the ship come back, he immediately ran over to check on it. Though the way that he acted, it seemed like he was more worried about us than the ship. It was just that we could see his eyes drifting over to the ship from time to time as if he was checking up on it. No, even without that, there was something else that gave him away. "My lord, I'm so glad that you're...back. I was…

It was better to say that she was all out of surprise to react to this. She had experienced many new things today that had completely caught her off guard, so Ariel no longer had the surprised feeling to react to all of this. So she just seemed like she calmly accepted it all. But there was something that Ariel still had to ask in the end. "But it doesn't seem like the relationship between all of you is normal. Why does it seem like they're closer to you, more than just having a normal…

Ariel just said this with a proud look on her face, as if this was something that everyone should take note of. Though it wasn't as if she was wrong about that. If it was anyone else, then this was certainly something to be shocked by and to take careful note of. It was just that it wasn't that shocking for us since we were used to this kind of thing. Well, it wasn't as shocking for me since I already knew about this, but it was certainly still surprising for the others since they never…
